ASVAB

The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is a comprehensive aptitude test that evaluates an individual’s natural abilities and skills. Required for enlistment in the military, the ASVAB also offers valuable insights for those exploring various career paths. By taking this test, you can better understand your strengths and make informed decisions about your future career opportunities, whether in the military or beyond. 

The Military Entrance Processing Service Center administers the ASVAB on a weekly basis, and you can contact your military recruiter to schedule an appointment. Additionally, Pinecrest High School offers the ASVAB three times a year at no cost to students. This administration is open to all grade levels, regardless of your career plans. For more information about the ASVAB, please reach out to Ms. Patterson, our Career Development Coordinator, or AP Mr. Rodriguez.
